GC68PFT Splasher's Puzzle Sampler (Unknown Cache) in California, United States created by TeamSplasher

This cache has been archived.

cachbefound: The area where the final is has been cleared so that the container is very much exposed. The container also has become a home for a huge nest of ants. Because of these issues I've decided that it's to archive this one.

A big thanks to all who solved and visited.
